FWIW, I actually DO have multiple firsthand experiences running a 3.27 ratio in many different bodystyles and terrains, ...and yes I have one in my own vehicle.

Going further, I actually have a 3.25 ratio in a couple of my Model-Ts, and one with a 3.0 ratio and all of my cars have many miles on them from touring all over this country. What I always find sad (-not just here but in other forums & social media formats too) is there will be ones that give their opinion on what won't work well or why it wont work well however when truth is known, in reality they have never actually had any firsthand experience with the advice they are giving to someone else. It's like the person asking the question must decide the correct answer to his question first by needing to determine whether the advice he is given is actually factual or just fiction. There was a time in my life when I remember it wasn't that way.
